When this feature was available I was using Chrome on a Windows machine (not mobile) and the back button would fill up with Page 3, Page 4, Page 5, etc as I infinite scrolled.

I would also HIGHLY recommend that any future rollout of such a feature be OPT IN.

I hadn't realized that there was infinite scroll in addition to floating the bar. That makes my suggestion rather meaningless, as there is no real "top" and "bottom" anymore.

If you end up turning off infinite scroll, though, it's a compromise you might want to consider.

Extremely distracting. And irritating.

For some reason, my opting out of infinite scroll reverted back to opt in overnight.

They just reintroduced the feature, so it makes sense that it would have reverted, go back into settings and check disable infinite scroll and save it. It should then be taken care of.

Personally, I don't find it very distracting. Just glitchy, especially at the bottom of the page.

I already did disable it again. Thanks.

Yeah, but they ignore your preferences for certain forums. It even says so in the setting. It shows low respect to their membership when I've clearly set a preference, but some forums (like the TSS subforums) ignore that preference and display infinite scroll anyway.

If you're going to allow the opt-out, make it universal, no exemptions.

I HATE infinite scroll. I rarely go to the trouble to complain, but this feature drove me to seek out this thread.
At least there seems to be an opt-out, but seriously who is looking for this? I can only imagine it is driven by the advertising side somehow

In the options checkbox to disable desktop auto-scroll I don't see anything that states it's left enabled on some forums. But I may well have missed it. Where are you seeing this?

It works poorly in low bandwidth environments, such as most Hotel's free wifi - you device freezes while loading more - disable, disable, disable.

Yeah, I don't see that either. Far as I know, if you opt out, you're out.

There are two places for infinite scroll. The one for the infinite scroll/normal skin says:

I do now see that the second infinite scroll, non-skin one is sticking opt-out, properly.

There seems to be a universal push to "refresh" every website with annoying javascript.
I suspect (1) this allows backdoors for more data mining; and (2) guarantees eternal employment for the IT folks.

Here's a new one. I have infinite scroll disabled but now it pops up regardless. Seriously - this is the worst implementation of anything on this website to date.

Same here. I have it disabled (from the first time) but "infinite scroll" bar/function still appears.
Also, when I change it from the drop menu on the bottom page bar and then move to the next page of a thread, the bar/function pops up again in the new page.
